Peugeot Paris 8-3/4-Inch Salt and Pepper Mill Set, Classic Curry

This was such a great deal!!! These sell for much more in kitchen stores. One would generally cost over 45.00. Love the color and size. Bought 2 sets. One for us and one for an xmas gift. They loved it, and of course knew the peaugeot brand and thought we spent a lot more money on them then we really did. Thanks amazon.com. This was my first purchase with you and I was pleased with the whole experience!!!!!

Gorgeous, so classic, I'm very happy I bought these. The colour is a bit lighter than the picture, and texture is a very glossy yellow lacquer paint. You might like to get the gourmet whole pepper and french sea salt to go with it at the same time you order, it would just make sense to have it all when they come. Lovely.

These are the best salt and pepper mills I have owned to date. The color is absolutely wonderful, the pictures don't do it justice.

The Peugeot pepper and salt mills have a beautiful gloss finish that is a rich none yellow mustardy color, they call this curry. The color in the picture does not do these mills justice. The mills themselves are about 22 cm tall or 8.75 inches tall the metal knobs are not a significant part of the height, being that they blend in so well with the contours of the mill, but they are part of this measurement. They measure about 19 cm/ 7.5 inches around at the base our 5.5 cm from edge to edge, the diameter. The height and width make these mill perfect as they are not so big as to be a nuisance or so small that you lose them on the table amongst your food, and again the beautiful color and finish makes them wonderful functional accent pieces for a kitchen or dinner table...
The grinding mechanism is just like those of the past and made of metal rather than hard plastic. The setting for fine and coarse grinds works true enough with a tight-ing of the knobs giving you a finer grind and loosing coarser larger pieces. I tossed out the salt and peppercorns that came with it, I had no idea what these where stored with our how long they had been with Amazon. When you do fill them please be sure you use rock salt and enough black peppercorns in a pepper mix.
The price is a the really deal here one only needs to walk into any fine cookware store to see that each one of these mills sells for $35 to $45 dollars. A great buy that will last for years to come.

I spent way too much time researching salt and pepper mills. After deciding on Peugeot, I shopped Ebay and other discount sites...AMAZON wins, as usual.
Save yourself some time and buy Peugeot.
